The GOP's problem is that Hillary will run against a live person. Then it'll be Hillary vs. someone (with warts), not Hillary vs. herself. If that someone is Walker, then he better get a lot smarter than what he showed last Sunday morning on Fox, when he said he could deal with ISIS because he's had experience dealing with public unions in Wisconsin. I'm sure that remark was fully embraced by Wisconsin's public school teachers, firefighters and police officers.

 

As far as "way too early" ... I'm sorry to say but the campaign has begun.

 

It's always funny to hear a quote taken as a hot take out of context.

 

I think a big question for this race will be how motivated the black community in urban areas will be to get out and vote for Hillary. People assume the same level of enthusiasim as under Obama and I'm not buying it.

 

Also the trend over the last 8 years of Democrats losing the white middle class voters isn't a great sign for this election.

Your next President. Get used to it. Back to the White House for Bill.

 

No freakin' way. We've had enough idiocy these past 8 years. This country will not survive an even bigger idiot. JMO.

I didn't quote Walker out of context. I watched the interview live. Chris Wallace of Fox came to Walker's aid after the governor compared ISIS to Wisconsin's public sector unions, steering him into less shark-infested waters. Still, if this is an indication of Walker's "expertise" in foreign affairs, his shortcomings will be fully exposed during the GOP debates. (Walker's other obvious problem is that he basically is competing for the same money sources as Jeb Bush, and Jeb is rolling in $$.)

 

I agree that minority voter turnout will be key in '16 -- the Hispanic vote more so than the black vote. Don't forget that Romney did exceedingly well with white middle-class voters in '12 but still lost the election by 5 million votes.

 

The racial makeup of the country is a-changin'.

Hispanic vote is key I agree. But GOP won white middle class vote by an even larger margin in '14 it keeps trending that way.

 

Hispanic vote is still up for grab. That is actually the one huge Positive Jeb brings he has a strong case for that vote.

 

But if the Black vote returns to pre 2008 levels it will have an impact on 16'. I know the demographics are changing but we aren't talking 30 years from now we are talking 18 months.

why is this coming out 4 years AFTER?! If it was a big deal it would have erupted while she was SOS. Spin cycle on.

It hasn't been four years since she left office and if you run for president every secret comes out. This won't be the last.

Come on man...black marks if they are real come out in real time these days. Opponents are just hoping this will grab traction. Let's think of the last decade only two of the last four SOSs used state email reported by Politico today. I'm not saying they shouldn't be using them, but it's not as much as an expectation as people want to think. Powell: didn't use Rice: used Clinton: didn't use Kerry: using currently

Seeing as the White House just said they didn't know Clinton was using a private email your comment doesn't hold water.

 

Either the adminsitration is lying or it wasn't public knowledge.

 

Powell is irrelevant to the conversation because new regulations were put forth in 2009 and a stricter law in 2014 . Clinton time fell under the 2009 guidelines which she didn't follow.

 

Want to try again ?

As I posted earlier - she is a patsy.

 

Benghazi was Susan Rice op. And Trey Gowdey is not giving up.

 

This story was reported by NYT and AP. These are not right wing outlets.

 

Ms. Clinton seems to have been given her 'Burn Notice' by someone for some reason.

I meant 6+, just seems like 8.

Based on this administration's history, I would go with the former...

What is interesting is the "burn notice" seems to be from other Dems. It is no secret Obama cannot stand her. Seems like other liberal outfits (NYT and AP) may be trying to get her out...want Warren possibly??

Except for brief periods the idiocy has lasted for as long as I can remember. Just different agendas.

I can't disagree there.

The most important thing is for folks to understand why this is a big deal. But ultimately, like Benghazi, other stories will take precedent and people will chalk it up as a Republican crusade to destroy her credibility and not that big of a deal. They will do the Clinton shuffle around this one.

Are we ignoring that a republican house panel on Benghazi found no administrative wrongdoing? When one side continues to through anything and everything out there in hopes of having sometbinj stick, yes, most people will see it as a "crusade" to destroy someone. And it doesn't matter which side is doing what, after a while on attacks towards one person gets old when nothing has stuck, again what did the republican house panel find?.......
